Hello, I have already had the privilege of talking to Mr. Staples (you know him as Mr. Tim Staples about this). Anyway, I have a friend. (Kind of), at one point she and I were very close, I don’t want to go into too much detail (for her privacy and mine), but she ended up getting married to a guy I did not exactly get along with. Now, he has died, he died almost two years ago. This girl is a “former” Catholic and is much the reason I became Catholic. She wanted to be Confirmed, and she seemed to seriously be convinced Catholicism was true (she was Baptized as a child, but never really practiced). Eventually, she decided she did not wish to be Catholic, and was Baptized the third time (Ironically, she told me the second one, which was a believer’s baptism, was not her choice) a few years ago. Now, I tried to reconcile with her over some of the mean things her husband and I have said to each other (and did for a while), but I am not really sure where this anti-Catholic attitude comes from. I have had Catholic Apologists more seasoned than I debate her, but it seems to be to no avail. The types of things she says, like that the Pope is the Anti-Christ, and that the Catholic Church is the whore of Babylon, I can easily refute, but nothing seems to get through to her. I would also like to point out she seems to have an unhealthy obsession with Kirk Cameron and his Growing Pains ministry, as well as that of Ray Comfort (whom I have actually debated via Facebook after he posted something completely false about Pope Francis. And I called him out on it). Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks
-Adam
